George Morgan, player-manager of his village soccer team Raglan said: "He was such a high-spirited human being with such a lust for life - intelligent, confident and an incredible athlete in both football and rugby.

"We were lucky enough to have him as part of our team and it was always an incredible atmosphere when Ted was in the room."

Ted's funeral took place last week in Monmouth with some of his team mates from Swansea Medicals RFC in attendance.

Ted's family has set up a foundation in his name to help other young people contemplating ending their lives.

It has so far raised over £12,000 ($21,300).

A Swansea University spokesman said: "We were very saddened to hear of the death of Edward Senior, a student at our Medical School.

"Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends at this time."

Edward's parents Paul and Diana, who run a boutique farmhouse bed and breakfast in Raglan, Monmouth, were too upset to talk about the tragedy.

An inquest was opened by the Gwent Coroner and adjourned while police inquiries continue into Ted's tragic death on February 12.
